As I understand "cache" I should be able to delete all files in the
cache folder at any time without any effect (except performance) on
the wiki. So I don't like the idea of having the cache files in
something called "work" ("temp" or "cache" sounds mutch better to me)
and I don't like the idea to place it in a directory called "data"
with all the 'real data'. I for one would expect "-draft" files in
something called "work", but not cache files.
